Clinical focus

Dr. Sert’s clinical interests reflect the range of situations encountered in an emergency department. She evaluates and manages patients presenting with trauma, where the initial priorities are a structured assessment of injuries, stabilization, and a decision on whether further specialist care is needed. Her areas of expertise also include environmental emergencies, a group of conditions caused by exposure to the surrounding environment rather than by an underlying illness alone.

Within this group, Dr. Sert has particular experience with bee stings and tick bites, which may require local wound care, observation for allergic or systemic reactions, and appropriate follow-up. She also manages drowning incidents, acute hypoxia (a sudden shortage of oxygen reaching the tissues), and airway obstruction, conditions in which securing breathing and oxygenation is the immediate concern. In each case, the approach depends on the patient’s presentation, the mechanism of injury or exposure, and the findings of the clinical examination.

How Dr. Sert works with international patients

Dr. Sert consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for other languages. For patients traveling from abroad, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging (for example MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes, and discharge summaries), arranges appointments, and organizes the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination, and a discussion of the available options. Video consultation is available for international patients who wish to discuss their situation with Dr. Sert before or instead of traveling.
